Fatal1ty AN8 SLI Timing Issues?

Recommended Posts

I have booted up the computer using a BIOS of 19 and all the updated drivers for the hardware, and everything runs smoothly, until it randomly crashes from time to time. The crash takes the form of the computer no longer responding, and the screen freezes. We have already tested the memory by swapping it with other sticks, and the Memory Timing settings may be an issue, even though the problem is the same with different memory. I have run PC wizard 2006 to test the various components of the computer, and nothing comes out faulty. One benchmark I have come across is trying to install World of Warcraft. It tends to cause the computer to crash after several minutes of installation, every time. I have scoured the forums relentlessly, and have read about Memory Timing issues that are rampant with this motherboard. However, I have not come across this problem where the computer is working fine for several minutes, and then it crashes without any hint of other problems. I suspect it may be a problem with the Memory settings in BIOS (currently 2.7v, 3-3-3-8, 2t). I have read many memory config. recommendations to change these settings, but none have solved the problem. Please let me know what the problem may be, as this has been a very time-consuming ordeal!

Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, and then test the module/modules one at a time with www.memtest.org! If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure.
